PREFACE. 


The cuneiform texts here presented were, with two exceptions (Nos. 1 and 3), 
already copied .and autographed during my sojourn in Philadelphia in 1907, and 
this volume was first announced as early as 1905. The delay in publication is due 
to the same causes which I have indicated in the Preface to my recently published 
SUMERIAN ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS. 

In order to make this new and interesting material accessible to the learned 
world as soon as possible, the cuneiform texts are here first published by themselves, 
together with photographic reproductions of the originals. This publication of the 
texts has, of course, only been possible after a more or less complete transcription and 
interpretation of the tablets, but in order not to delay the appearance of the texts 
proper any longer, I reserve a full translation and discussion of the texts for another 
place. 

In regard to the method of the autograph reproduction of the texts, I have been 
working on the principles governing hitherto the publications of cuneiform texts by 
the University of Pennsylvania, which was to reproduce the original script as closely 
as is possible, not only in the natural size, but also reproducing the peculiarities of the 
ductus. On account of the unusually small size and the crowding together of the 
characters on most of the Nippur tablets, however, I have been laboring with the 
constant feeling that it would have been almost humanitarian not only to the 
prospective reader but also to the copyist, if an exception had been made to this 
rule, and the writing, in some cases at least, had been enlarged to one and a half 
times the natural size. I have endeavored, however, to make the script as distinct 
and easy to read as has been possible under the principle followed. 

To the honored and esteemed Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. 
Charles Custis Harrison, I beg respectfully to dedicate this volume as a small token 
of my great esteem and gratitude for his interest and generosity. Again I beg to 
express my gratitude to Mrs. Charles Custis Harrison, who by continued generosity 
has provided the means for the preparation of this volume, and to Mr. Eckley B. 
Coxe, Jr., for his sustained interest in this work. |

INTRODUCTION. 


The Babylonian clay tablets, published in this volume and now preserved in the 
Museum of the University of Pennsylvania, divide themselves into two parts. One 
part, consisting of eleven tablets, was procured during the excavations at Nippur. 
The other part, consisting of seven tablets, belongs to the so-called Khabaza 
collections of cuneiform tablets, which were procured for the University of Penn- 
sylvania by purchase. 


i 
THE NIPPUR TABLETS. 


The Nippur tablets included in this volume, 7. e., Nos. 1-11, were dug up by the 
expeditions of the University of Pennsylvania to Nippur in Central Babylonia, 1888- 
89, 1889-90, 1893-96 and 1898-1900. Some of these unique and exceedingly interest- 
ing tablets, as Nos. 9, 11 for example, were found already during the first expedition; 
others, like No. 6, during the second expedition the following year. 

In regard to material, make up, form, as well as present state of preservation, 
these tablets present peculiar characteristics. They seem to have been made of a 
special kind of clay; they are carefully prepared, well shaped and thoroughly baked. 
Hence, nearly all retain the same coloring—a pale brown hue. 

As a rule tablets of this kind were made very large in size, two or more columns 
of writing being inscribed on each side. The script, as a rule, is very small and 
crowded together. Although the characters, where they still remain more or less 
intact, are pretty clear and distinct, the writing, on account of the small size and 
crowded condition of the cuneiform signs, is rather difficult to decipher. The con- 
stant use of a tube and the most favorable light conditions are necessary. 

As for the present state of preservation these tablets have been most roughly 
handled by the vicissitudes of four millenniums. Thus, as the autograph copies, the 
photographic reproductions, as well as the descriptions of the tablets clearly indicate, 
not a single tablet has passed through its history or reached its present resting place 
intact. As a rule each tablet consists of a larger or smaller fragment of a tablet, 


g INTRODUCTION 


or several fragments joined together. One tablet, No. 6, is intact as far as the 
tablet itself is concerned, but the surfaces are damaged. ‘The inscriptions on the 
tablets are not only fragmentary, but to a large extent obliterated by the wear and 
tear of time. These facts, in connection with the difficulties that the Sumerian 
language, as well as the peculiar subject-matter of these Nippur religious tablets 
present, make the deciphering, copying, interpretation and rendering of these unique 
tablets an exceedingly difficult task. 

The age of these Nippur tablets is to be determined exclusively on paleographical, 
archaeological and internal evidence. Hence this question may naturally give rise 
to differences of opinion. I am confident, however, that scholars will bear out a 
statement to the effect that some of these texts reach back into the third millennium 
B. C., others no doubt belong to the second. 

The language employed in the composition of these Nippur tablets, with only two 
exceptions, is Sumerian. Of the Sumerian tablets one at least, No. 8, is written in the 
so-called eme-sal dialect. No. 2 is composed in Semitic Babylonian, and No. 11 is 
bilingual or written in both Sumerian and Semitic Babylonian. 

In regard to the contents or subject-matter of these Nippur tablets I have desig- 
nated them as being Hymns and Prayers. I need not dwell on the difficulty or 
futility of attempting to establish, in many cases at least, a nice distinction between 
these two nearly related categories of the expression of religious emotions and aspira- 
tions. The Nippur texts, however, present additional and at this moment insur- 
mountable difficulties in this regard, owing to the very fragmentary state of the 
originals in question. For the same reasons it cannot in every case be established 
with certainty, which particular deity or deities were actually the object, par préfér- 
ence at least, of exaltation or supplication. The occurrence of the name of a deity 
or those of several deities does not, of course, by itself disclose the particular deity, 
which is supposed to be the object of the address, if any special deity was addressed 
at all. As the precise determination of the subject-matter is more or less a question 
of interpretation, there will necessarily be room for differences of opinion in some 
cases. ‘The predominant names of the deities given in these Hymns or Prayers have 
been indicated in the description of each tablet. 


IT. 
THE KHABAZA TABLETS. 


> 


The tablets Nos. 12-18 of this volume belong to the so-called Khabaza collections, 
owned by and preserved in the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania, Phila- 
delphia. The cuneiform tablets as well as other objects, which constitute the two 
Khabaza collections, were dug up in Babylonia by native Arabs and sold to dealers 


INTRODUCTION | 9 


in antiquities. Under such circumstances the exact place where the objects actually 
were found is not known, although internal evidence may be of value in determining 
their place of origin.* | 

The first Khabaza collection (=Kh.) was purchased in London and presented 
to the University of Pennsylvania by the late Mr. E. W. Clark, 1888. The second 
Khabaza collection (= Kh?) was bought for the University of Pennsylvania by Dr. 
R. F. Harper at Bagdad, 1889. 

The Khabaza tablets included in this volume are, their present broken condition 
notwithstanding, beautiful specimens of the Babylonian art of tablet making. The 
tablets are carefully made and shaped, beautifully inscribed and very thoroughly 
baked. Originally the baked clay had a reddish brown color; the surfaces are now 
blackened in places. 

Especially to be noted is the fact that some of these tablets, 7. e., Nos. 12 and 18, 
directly disclose themselves as being prayers of Samassumukin, King of Babylonia, 
brother and contemporary of the last great King of Assyria, Assurbanapal, the 
collector of the famous royal library in Nineveh, now in the British Museum, London. 
Thus the unfortunate Babylonian King, who perished in an encounter with his 
brother, speaks in the first person in these prayers—anaku(-ku) om ™ Samas- 
sumu-ukin. | 

These Hymns and Prayers from the time of Samassumukin, published in this 
volume, are all composed in the Semitic Babylonian language. The deities 
addressed are Samas, E-a and Marduk.
